Here are five rules to help you stay locked in to your lifestyle for the next five years: Always start by looking for a free option. Never buy new when you can get the same benefit you would if you bought used. (It’s used as soon as you buy it anyway.) Never pay full price if you can avoid it. Negotiate and seek alternatives first. Delay major purchases until you have written down ten alternatives to making the purchase and have thought through each one. Save your splurging for Profit First quarterly disbursements! Yay!
